Specifically does the 11mm increased suspension ride height in Normal apply to Lift setting as well? I am looking for the ability to raise the ride height to avoid chassis damage from potholes on an un-paved road that is a short-cut to get home. It would be nice to have ~36mm in ride height adjustment range, but I suspect that isn't what Off-Road Design is about, though.

Thanks in advance.

 

No. The car does not lift any higher than without the ORDP. It just defaults to "High" when you start the car and drive away in the default driving mode, rather than on Medium like the rest of the CTs. All heights go to the same height as without the ORDP, including "Lift" and Gravel Mode.

 

 

if you can live with the lower default ride height, I would skip ORD. I found it collected so much dirt and road debris, and spoiled the clean lines (one of the reasons why I went ST vs CT).

 

Really appreciate the chart/table.

 

Huh? How does a raised ground clearance collect dirt and road debris? Are you driving on open fields? Serious question. My Cayenne with higher ground clearance than the Lift mode of the Taycan CT has no more dirt on it's drivetrain than my AWD car (E90 BMW335ix).

 

I mean dirt accumulating in the gaps between the plastic “fins” and the body.
